By Plane
Bahrain is a group of islands in the Gulf. Though it’s possible to reach via a series of bridges which connect the kingdom to Saudi Arabia, most visitors will arrive by plane. The Bahrain International Airport (BAH) is about 8km away from the centre of Manama.
By Shuttle Bus
On Grand Prix weekend, free shuttle buses connect downtown Manama, the circuit and the airport. There is no charge for F1 ticket holders to use this service, and no extra passes are required.
By Car
Parking is free for vehicles with at least three ticket holders and there is plenty of spaces to choose from. To get to the circuit by car:
- Head south out of the city on the Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Highway.
- After about 22km, turn right onto the Zallaq Highway.
- From here, follow the signs to the circuit.
You’ll want to arrange your parking passes in advance, as it won’t be possible to buy parking tickets on the day of the event. Passes need to be displayed on the vehicle’s windshield and collected from one of the following places:
- BIC stand, City Centre Mall.
- BIC stand, Beyond Money F1 Village, Block 338.
- Ticket Sales and information stand, Exhibition World Bahrain.
